Manning's Retirement.

Manning's retirement from the Cabi-
net furnishes material for great deal
of newspaper gossip, and great deal
of gossip among politicians. A great
many reasons are assigned for his re-
tirement, but probably the real
reason is the one that has been given
the most publicity-his ambitions to
enter the banking business in New York
City. There is no ground for assign
ing his withdrawal from public life to
any disagreements with the President.
There is every reason to believe that
his personal, political and official re-
lations with Cleveland have been
amicable and quite harmonious since
he has been Cabinet officer. That
he resigned to engage in more active
politics, to secure for himself, if posi-
BILE, the nomination for Presi-
dent in 1888, is not in keeping
with his future shrewd political
management. If, as has been sug-
gested, Cleveland will not be a candi-
date in 1888. and Manning really de-
sires to be, he would not go into Wall
street to clay pipe" for Presidential
support. If he is candidate and
Cleveland is not, he would certainly
return to Albany from Washington, in
stead of going to New York. As a
Cabinet Minister Manning has been
very popular; has had added many
laurels to his name in the two years
last past. If the convention which will
nominate the next President was to be
held the present year, instead of year
hence, Manning could be nominated
and elected. If he goes into Wall
street, he can not only not secure the
nomination for President, but he will
not want it. Manning is too good a
politician to suppose that Wall street
banker could be nominated and elected
President of the United States. Not
that such a man is worse than other
men merely because he is a banker,
but because popular prejudice could be
too readily appealed to, and with effect,
against such candidate. 1t is safe to
say that Manning is not u Presidential
candidate-Des Moines Leader.

Why Did Sherman Resign?
There docs MT seem tC

There does not seem to have been any
special reason for. Senator Sherman to
resign the Presidency pro tempore OF
the Senate, as he did the other day, un-
less it was to give some other Senator
a chance to have $3.50 per month add
ed to his salary during his service as
President pro tempore. Under the old
law relating to the Presidential success
sion, the President pro tempore of the
Senate would have been temporarily
President in the event of the death,
resignation or inability of both President
and Vice-President. When that law was
in existence it was wise and proper pre-
caution to have President pro tempore
whose term bridged the intervening
time between the expiration of one Con-
gress and the reassembling Of
another. If it had remained on
the statute books there would be
some good reason for the retire
ment of Senator Sherman from
the Presidency pro tem.-as his pres
ent term as Senator expires on the
4th of March, and his Presidency would
expire with it, although he has been
reelected to the Senate-to give an
opportunity to the Senate to elect a
Senator whose term did not close with
this Congress. But under the Presi-
Dental Succession law, as it now
stands, the President pro tempore of
the Senate is wholly out of the line, and
it would therefore make no difference
to the country if there was no such Of
fcer during the recess of the Senate.
Nor would it make any difference with
the Senate, for at the regular session.
or at special session if one were
called, the work of choosing presid-
ing officer-a President pro tempore-
would require only a moments time.
The President pro tempore of the Sem
ate, however, receives $4,000 per year.
while other Senators receive but $5, 600,
and this is the only reason there is now
for taking care to have such an officer
during the recess of Congress. Detroit

What the Humorist Knows About the
First and Second Years of His Life.
The arrival of new boy in the little
village of Greenesborough, Greene
County, Pennsylvania. on the 30th of
July, 1874, interested me about as little
as any event that ever occurred on the
banks of the Monongahela. Other vii
layers came to inquire after the boy
and his pretty mother; they decided
whom the baby looked like, and what
his name should be; they handled him
and guessed at his weight; they petted
and praised him and loved him. But
and the baby didn't seem to get on.
At first sight of him / broke into pitt
full walls, and brandished my fists as
though had met my mortal enemy.
AS the boy grew older, and opportuni-
ties for annoying him presented them
selves more frequently, 1 prosecuted
him the more. thrust my thumb into
his eyes; / kicked the blankets off his
sleeping form of nights; often I had
fallen downstairs with him, had not
my sister Mary protected him. have
tidgeted and struggled until I thrust
concealed pins in the person of that in
nocent, shrieking child. AS the years
of his boyhood came and went, more
than all other people in the world led
that boy into mischief and got him
into trouble; and I never got over
this singular antipathy. L have
been unkind to him where 1 would
be tenderly merciful to stranger; l
have been pitiless with him where
was gracious to my enemies. 1 have
been the cause of all his mistakes and
| misdeeds; thousand times l have been
a stumbling-block in his way, and then
have smitten him because he stum-
bled over me. Often and often won-
der how bright and happy and good
that boys life might have been had he
never met me.
The boy went West with my parents
in 1916. Family traditions state that
he wept aloud all the way from Green's
borough to Cincinnati. Possibly he
was heart-broken at leaving his native
State, to which he returned long years
afterwards. Perhaps he wept because
he knew that the earth and several
coaling-stations would one day be
seized by the Ohio man, and he was
born beyond the Panhandle. What
ever caused his grief, he kept it u
secret forever. He merely announced,
firmly and distinctly, to every living
soul on that boat, that he was crying,
but did not say what he was crying
about. He never told me; if he did,
have forgotten it-Robert j. Burdette,
in Lippincotfs Magazine.

A REASON FOR REsIeNINe.

Mr.. Sherman vacates "Tigure- Head"
Office to Give His Attention to . Weak
Presidential "Boom."
The reason, charitably or unchar-
itably assigned, for the resignation of
John Sherman from the respectable,
solemn and somnolent post of tempo
rary President of the Senate is that he
means to give boost to his boom Tor
another Presidency, the salary of which
is greater by forty-two thousand dollars
a year. Honest John has never been
known to give something for nothing,
and his ambition is checked only by his
thrift. If he voluntarily resigns three
thousand dollars year, it is perfectly
natural to suppose that he knows what
he is about; and he may be right in
supposing that he will advertise him
self in larger letters by coming down
from that dais of boredom on which
the President of the Senate sits with no
power to claim the right of sanctuary
in the cloak-room, though assailed by
many moldy metaphors. and drenched
with the chilly stream of Senatorial
eloquence.
The Pinkstonian statesman is per-
haps right in resigning. He might
come to be mere wooden man, an
animated gavel, breakwater to the
storms of oratory, a human sounding
board. He has rescued himself, but
what of his boom? We say it in no
spirit of unkindness, but that boom is
| ancient and castanean, and hardly
worth digging up. Ohio venerates
John, and certain Ohio politicians are
| anxious to make him President so as to
| get him out of the Senate; but are Re-
publican Buckeyes capable of political
good faith? The grizzled old financier
| of Mansfield has good cause to doubt it.
He knows them, and they know it.
They filched from him the nomination
for President. Then they almost kept
him out of the Senate, to which he has
the pretensions of life member. The
usual Ohio Republican politician is a
clear case of viper.
Shaky at home, what prop has Mr..
| Sherman elsewherep The confidence
of the conservative and business in
terestsp" If so, he is dead man po-
litically; for these seem to be fatal to a
candidate. The truth is that Mr.. Sher-
man, however valuable for his associa-
tions, is not popular man; and he is
less likely than Allison, for instance, to
succeed Mr.. Blaine if that gentleman
should not care to try his luck again
